For all other inquiries, please don't be shy!About me: I am a professional illustrator/graphic designer with a Bachelors Degree in Fine Art from Parsons School of Design, New York,NY-Paris, France, and the Minneapolis College of Art and Design (MCAD). I am on the cusp of celebrating my 5th season playing roller derby this summer and I am proud to play for the Fabulous Sin City Rollergirls in Las Vegas, NV. I am currently recovering from a broken leg, ankle and ego snapped in the throws of blocking passion.
